  • USG Boral SHEETROCK® Ensemble™ was developed to meet the sound-scaping needs of architects and interior designers wanting a non-directional, smooth ceiling effect with no visible joints or perforations, while still providing positive acoustic outcomes in open spaces. A uniquely integrated system of mineral property ceiling panels, Ensemble™ achieves what normal plasterboard cannot aesthetically deliver. Ensemble™ is ideal for high-end ceiling applications where acoustic performance is critical and hard surfaces dominate, such as museums, libraries, schools, sporting facilities, corporate office foyers, hotel lobbies and conference centres.

  • Ensemble™ is rated at up to 0.80 Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) and 50 Ceiling Attenuation Class (CAC). Ensemble™ comprises three key elements: 1. Highly engineered SHEETROCK® Ensemble™ panels; perforated to absorb sound. The porous acoustical veils are laminated to the front and back of the panels. Additional sound insulation material can be installed on the back of panels to enhance the acoustic performance. 2. Ensemble™ panels are screw-attached to a plasterboard suspension system. 3. After installation, the system is completed with Ensemble™ Spray-Applied Finish, creating a monolithic appearance with tiny irregular perforations which allow sound to pass through.

  • Ensemble™ is ideal for high-end ceiling applications where acoustic performance is critical and hard surfaces dominate, such as museums, libraries, schools, sporting facilities, corporate office foyers, hotel lobbies and conference centres. Significantly faster and easier to install than other systems, makes it an exceptionally cost-effective solution. Ensemble™ requires a simple installation process, finished with a quick drying spray-application, and can greatly assist with budget and project efficiencies. It is a complete system for new, retrofit and customised installations.

  • • Installs and finishes similar to traditional plasterboard • High light-reflective finish (LR-0.85) reducing fixture and energy use • Acoustically transparent spray-applied finish • Low VOC-emitting material • No visible grid lines
